After a troubled two and a half months, the agriculture produce market committee (APMC) in Vashi has lifted restrictions on the entry of vegetable trucks. For the last days, more than 400 trucks with vegetables have arrived at the wholesale market. Traders say that price of green vegetables will now come down in the retail market in a couple of days.
According to Shankar Pingle, director of APMC’s vegetable market, prices will now be under control as the arrivals have increased. “The token system for entering the wholesale market has been lifted and now there is no restriction on the number of trucks with vegetables that could enter the market.”
Some traders claim that many of them had been unable to operate successfully as the number of arrivals had been very less, affecting the overall business at the wholesale market.
